Thanks for the comments, I can see what you mean by the flatness, I think I can see some ways to work on the individual layers now to add some more depth. I wondered about the gate but missed your point about the steps Punkclown, I'll give it a go anyway! Thanks for suggestions & encouragement ; ) The perennial question I agree with all you say, I was thinking more about which gallery rather than is it art, for me this kind of thing seems to fit equally into both.
